hi all, i just got a new comp which has an intel 82945g (251mb) on it. i tried playing games like cs and dod, but the performance was very bad. on the other hand, i've got a geforce 4 440mx (64mb) in my old comp and it runs them better than the intel one although it has lower memory. why is this so? and should i fit it in instead?

I'm using linksys WRT54GS and I have made a profile to connect at startup. When I start my computer, there is a gray box in bottom corner, but gray means disabled. If I remove my wireless card, then put in after 10 seconds it turns green and I connect. Is there a way to connect on startup?

I have an idea of what is wrong with my computer but I really just want to know what I can do to fix it. What happened was my girlfriend tried to carry the CPU and the monitor at the same time when we were moving and it didn't work. She dropped my CPU and managed to hold on to the monitor. Basically the slot the monitor plugs into was ripped from the back of the CPU. After a few hours I managed to get all the prongs back into there slots and everything worked great. Then a few weeks later it started to work here and there. Till eventually it stopped working completely. I took the monitor plug off and saw that one of the fifteen small prongs were missing. I know the monitor is receiving power. The only thing wrong is their no image. My main question is, is there a place I can buy a new cord or connection pieces for my monitor? If so, where?

Looking to buy a laptop but want to know if the graphics card I am paying for is discrete. I don't want to pay for an upgrade if it's only hypermemory or integrated.
